commonstProbably the most romance heavy ep, and still NOT A PEEP from partner about the romance.
Excuse me while I check for pods.
This police station has the worst security ever.
Seriously, Healer can get in, get a uniform, wander around, find an open computer, all while the police are on high alert for a hack... and this is the Cybersecurity force.
I have stronger security on my stove.
Be glad they aren't increasing resolution on a photo. My rants on that are legendary. ðŸ¤
If the servers have been taken off a network there is NO WAY Healer can put them on a network himself from random computer. Networks don't work that way.
His reaction to being called a boyfriend is sweet though. #kdrama
Apparently Moon Sik wire tapping his wife's cell phone is the point where my partner's disbelief gets hauled back to earth. I just got an unexpected rant about how that wouldn't have been possible at the time.
However, plugging a cell phone into a desktop computer to hack it is possible if the cell phone is set up as a boot device and you start up the PC with the BIOS set to first go to a USB device for start up.
Which, if the cop has his PC set up like that regularly, makes him the worst cybersecurity cop ever. It's asking to get hacked.
Whoosh
ChrissyOooh - I'm working on my review of "When the Stars Gossip" - my take on the impossible tech there is different.
You're right about "Memories of the Alhambra" being sci-fi/fantasy, so you can be forgiving, but "Healer" being somewhat realistic and so their tech missteps didn't sit as well. (Although, Ahjumma is my favorite hacker ever!)
But "When the Stars Gossip" is in a class of its own for reasons I'm trying to define and so the impossibilities didn't bother me at all there.
Joakim Fors@joakimfors @whoosh @Chrissy as a woman in tech, I have been super impressed by the women in shows like Hacker, Cafe Minamdang, and Vincenzo. The computer hacker/geeks are competent strong women. That is so rare in North American shows where these types are usually male. I feel like I have finally met the role models I wish I could have had all along.

I'm right there with you - although I wish I would have found #kDrama earlier.
When I got my 1st job in tech, in 1987, the company had 104 systems engineers. The only other woman was a feisty blonde with a blackbelt - I really admired her.
@whoosh @joakimfors @Chrissy my first tech job was in 1996 and women were rare then too. The amount of fight needed was too much. These women just doing their jobs without question would have been the dream.
A lot of people complained about the end & some of the characters' commitments to relationships.
I had a different take on those things than most and I thought the ending perfect.
That's why the review is taking me longer to write - trying not to be spoilery, but to convey the meaning I thought the drama had is very difficult!
I think a lot of people thought it was a political statement for anti-abortion.
I thought that it was all about abandonment. The end brings home the profound effect feeling abandoned can have on your decisions. Both leads were abandoned, one purposely, one accidentally, however, they both came to value life so highly that they worked in fields where they could help save lives.
When their whole identity is wrapped up in valuing life & their own emotions of abandonment come in, there is no other choice for them to make.
I think I'm going to rewatch the end again before I finish up my review to see if I can say this in a way that won't be spoilery.

I thought that When The Stars Gossip dealt with a wide range of decisions and consequences related to conception. Regardless of what choices are made and how or if a pregnancy progresses, nothing will ever be the same again.
There were some wildly bizarre and hilarious scenes in this show, which made it delightful for our watchparty group. At the same time, there were some very nuanced ideas presented.
